Gary Kuhre was a man on a mission – he wanted to walk across America. But Gary was not doing it for himself – rather, he was taking it on to increase awareness about autism and hopefully help his son Joshua, who had been diagnosed with autism. Gary set out to walk from Reno, NV to Washington, D.C. He came close to completing his journey, but in the end he didn’t quite make it……

Although Gary did not finish his walk, he did succeed in another very significant way. In showing such incredible devotion to his autistic son, Gary gained much attention and achieved his goal of bringing awareness about autism to people all across America!
